Born Stevland Hardaway Judkins, Stevie Wonder arrived six weeks early.
The stunted growth of blood vessels in the back of his eyes caused his retinas to detach, and the oxygen pumped into his incubator made the condition worse, leaving him permanently blind.
He is currently 69 years old.
Some of my personal favorite tracks of Stevie’s are not just his huge pop hits, but more of his soul stuff like: ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours’, Livin’ For The City, ‘Superstition’, and ‘Sir Duke’…
Stevie has sold over 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the 60 best-selling music artists of all time.
Stevie got “discovered” when a member of his local church choir saw that Stevie had mastered piano, harmonica, drums and bass before his teenage years. He auditioned for Motown Records at the age of 11, and founder Berry Gordy later said he was “speechless” and signed him on the spot!
At age 13, he became the youngest person to top Billboard’s Hot 100, with “Fingertips” in 1963, recorded live in concert.
He has won 25 Grammys. Only three people have more: conductor Georg Solti (31) and producer Quincy Jones and bluegrass queen Alison Krauss
(27 each).
With that said: Tori and I thought it would be fun to do Superstition!
Tori has put her own spin on it.
Let us know how we did. 🙂

““It’s awesome. The private sections of the forum are worth the price of admission alone. I struggled with 2 different tertiary (university Level) level teachers (6 months each about 8 years ago) telling me my voice just wouldn’t be able to do what i wanted to be able to do and even if it could, the material i wanted to be able to sing would be too ‘Dangerous.’ Absolute rubbish. If you do the work thats laid out in this course, you are golden, I started in March Last year struggling to hit the E4 note in ‘Under the Bridge’ chorus now I can sing this stuff:
Honestly man, you are not going to find a bad review here. The course and this forum completely demystifies every single aspect of great singing. Just be prepared to do the work.”
